Selecting the Right Material For Your Kitchen Sink

The kitchen sink should be a working space without restrictions. It requires functionality and a great design element. Here’s a roundup of kitchen sink materials to help narrow your search and keep you updated with the ever changing design market.

Stainless Steel. Stainless steels are the most popular on the market today. They can be used on both undermount and top mount sinks. They are inexpensive, durable, and resistant to cracking, chipping, and peeling. If you have a limited budget, this material is a perfect fit for your kitchen. The inside finish is also important. A satin texture offers longer protection from scratching with normal use.

Cast Iron. This type of material can add a vintage appeal to your kitchen. The smooth, glass finish is very easy to clean and suited for daily wear and tear. This type of material is heavy and can be more expensive than stainless steel.

Composite. Composite sinks are available in quartz composite, polyester/acrylic, and granite-based. They are tough and highly resistant to scratching.

Fireclay. Fireclay sinks offer a wide variety of elegant styles but are most commonly seen on farmhouse or apron sink. The most common shapes are deep square and rectangular bowls. They fall under the expensive end but can be a great investment as they are non-porous, won’t rust or discolor, and can withstand heat.

Enjoy a Great Choice of Sinks. Glass, marble, copper, solid surface/acrylic, and tiles are also being used to make kitchen sinks. You can even add a personal flair by selecting a hand-painted sink. And if you are on a tight budget, you can buy a repurposed sink that can give your kitchen a new look.

When selecting a kitchen sink, make sure it complements your countertop, décor, and theme, and fits perfectly with other furnishings in the room. The ideal sink will not only make you feel great when you use it but will also make life easier and help you make the most out of your kitchen.
